(Memphis) Latoya Shields says she had to sit down when she heard the news, During the whole relationship, I only knew of four children. When a prosecutor told her that the father of her child had 20 other children she said her knees buckled, At that time, three years ago, my child was the 21st child. Yeah, that would be overwhelming for anybody. She says after spending almost 8 years with Terry Turnage, she had no idea what he what he had been up to. WREG tried to find out by going to Shelby County Juvenile Court. Turnage had filed a petition there to lower his child support payments for 15 different women. Turnage never showed up to the hearing.

I don’t want anybody’s children to starve. But welfare ought to be limited to a monthly package of rice, beans and multivitamins. That’s it.

Nothing else will teach these women to look for a ring on their finger and a paycheck in a man.

I’m tired of hardworking people living within their means and limiting their family to the size they can support, and then getting screwed by these baby mamas. My husband didn’t marry this woman or ten million like her; I didn’t either. And still we pay child support to her, more than the baby daddy ever will.

Between this guy and the other guy with 30 kids, there are 50 more permanent Jesse Jackson / Al Sharpton plantation voters. I wish we could get off of this merry-go-round of fatherless welfare families. If we cannot change culture (all groups) to decry single motherhood and easy divorce, we will just be adding to this problem!

(Government is NOT the reason for my existence!)

Very popular name in Memphis now, along with Letisha and Larond.
When I was born there in 1944 it was a nice city.
My father was a Main Street merchant.
In the past ten years it has flipped from 40% to 60% Afro.
It is now “gone with the wind”.

This is the third diverse Tennessean that has fathered more than 20-30+ children by several women. There is a culture around here that a certain ethnic group thrive upon having numerous children out of wedlock and then having welfare support the kids. NE Mississippi has several of these individuals that of I am aware. As long as they are supported by the public trough, nothing is keeping them from continuing this phenomenon.

Of course Holder will say that this is “cultural” for “his people.” The sad part of it is that these children will most likely end up like their “sperm donor,” unless they are shot during a robbery or home invasion.
